Elmer's Landscaping & Construction

Elmer's Landscaping & Construction, out of Lynn, is the call for the yard project that turns into three others: reviewers hire them for lawn care and end up bringing them back for tree removal, a stone retaining wall, snow plowing, or a fence. Nearly 60 written reviews on file across Google, Angi, Houzz, and Thumbtack run almost entirely five stars, with a Better Business Bureau A+ grade behind them. The tree work draws some of the most specific praise: reviewers describe crews taking down large hardwood trees next to structures and close to power lines without damage, working through pouring rain, and leaving a yard 'immaculate' with not a twig left behind, in 2023 and 2025 reviews. The hardscape side is just as detailed — a $32,000 job replaced a railroad-tie retaining wall with stone block and granite steps and added a paver walkway, in a 2022 review, and after a car crashed into a homeowner's centuries-old stone wall, Elmer's crew rebuilt it 'in perfect historical fashion' using period-appropriate masonry techniques, in a 2024 review. Snow plowing and shoveling customers, several using the company for the first time, describe same-day response and reliable service across multiple properties, in 2025 reviews. One Angi review from 2025 is worth flagging on its own: it's rated 3 stars, but its text describes a fully completed, accommodating retaining-wall job with no stated complaint — the only review on file that isn't a straight 5. With this much volume, this consistent and this specific across landscaping, tree work, and masonry, Elmer's reads as a dependable call for a range of yard projects — just be ready to book ahead given how often past customers say they've called them back.
